Heathrow has submitted its latest plans for a third runway at Europe’s busiest airport. The total cost, including new terminals and infrastructure, will be £49 billion pounds. The airport says expansion will create up to 40,000 new jobs and add 0.43% to the UK’s GDP by 2050. However, the plans will face fierce opposition from locals, politicians and climate campaigners.

Dr Caterina Brandmayr, Director of Policy and Translation at the Grantham Institute, says Heathrow Airport's expansion would make it "very challenging for the aviation sector to decarbonise", potentially impacting the government's current net zero targets.

Justine Bayley says she has not been offered any compensation from the government over Heathrow's expansion, but fears a third runway would mean that she will need ear defenders "every time I open the front door".
